Features & Attractions

Great Waves features

Waterslides, great food & more!

Great Waves offers some of the most unique and fun water attractions in Northern Virginia! Start with the waterslides - five in all. That includes a pair of speed slides in which users climb a dizzying staircase before sliding at high speed into the water below, as well as three waterslides - two open and one covered. Zig zag, twist and curl as the cool water rushes you to the pool below. Of course, the park’s centerpiece is the giant wave pool. Grab a tube, bob and weave in the surf as undulating waves give you an ocean-like experience. For the little ones, our Kids Zone is a great place for you and the kids to cool off while having a great time, and don’t forget about the giant splash pad! Great Waves also offers several other attractions to really make your day memorable. Enjoy pizza and ice cream at the Surfside Pizza and Soft Serve, or lunch and snacks at the Riptide Café.
